• I am convinced that these heavenly beings exist and that they provide unseen aid on our behalf.
• I do not believe in angels because someone has told me about a dramatic visitation from an angel, impressive as such rare testimonies may be.
• I do not believe in angels because I have ever seen one--because I haven't. I believe in angels because the Bible says there are angels; and I believe the Bible to be the true Word of God.
• I also believe in angels because I have sensed their presence in my life on special occasions.
• Angels belong to a uniquely different dimension of creation that we, limited to the natural order, can scarcely comprehend. In this angelic domain the limitations are different from those God has imposed on our natural order. He has given angels higher knowledge, power, and mobility than we.
• Have you ever seen or met one of these superior beings called angels? Probably not, for both the Bible and human experience tell us visible appearances by angels are very rare--but that in no way makes angels less real or powerful.
• They are God's messengers whose chief business is to carry out His orders in the world. He has given them ambassadorial charge. He has designated and empowered them as holy deputies to perform works of righteousness.
• In this way they assist Him as their creator while He sovereignly controls the universe. So He has given them the capacity to bring His holy enterprises to a successful conclusion.
• Don't believe everything you read and hear about angels. Some would have us believe that they are only spiritual will-o-the-wisps. Some view them as only celestial beings with beautiful wings and bowed heads. Others would have us think of them as effeminate weirdos. 
• The Bible states that angels, like men, were created by God. At one time no angels existed; indeed there was nothing but the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• It seems that angels have the ability to change their appearance and shuttle in a flash from he capital glory of heaven to earth and back again. Intrinsically, they do not possess physical bodies, although they may take on physical bodies when God appoints them to special tasks.
• When angels may become visible by choice, our eyes are not constructed to see them ordinarily any more than we can see the dimensions of a nuclear field, the structure of atoms, or the electricity that flows through copper wiring.
• They warn of God's impending judgment; they spell out the tenderness of His love; they meet a desperate need, then they are gone.
• Of one thing we can be sure: angels never draw attention to themselves but ascribe glory to God and press His message upon the hearers as a delivering and sustaining word of the highest order.
• Reports continually flow to my attention from many places around the world telling of visitors of the angelic order appearing, ministering, fellowshipping, and disappearing.

The empire of angels is as vast as God's creation. If you believe the Bible, you will believe in their ministry. They crisscross the Old and New Testaments, being mentioned directly or indirectly nearly three hundred times.

Some biblical scholars, believe that angels can be numbered potentially in the millions since Hebrews 12:22 speaks of "an innumerable company of angels.

As to their number, David recorded twenty thousand coursing through the skyways of the stars. Even with his limited vision he impressively notes, "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels." (Psalm 68:17)

Ten thousand angels came down on Mount Sinai to confirm the hold presence of God as he gave the Law to Moses (Deuteronomy 33:2). Moses was held in speech bound wonder at this mighty cataclysm attended by the visitation of heavenly beings.
